A NEW LEASE OF DEATH - There was no doubt in Chief Inspector Wexford's mind...Painter had commited the brutal crime and he'd been hanged for it. But now, fifteen years later, someone wants history changed and they are determined to prove the detective wrong, at any cost...'A cause for celebration' - SPECTATOR. THE BEST MAN TO DIE - Was it just a coincidence that Charlie Hatton, a cocky little lorry driver, had been killed on the day following that of Mrs Fanshawe's regaining consciousness?
